I think the 1st chapter to S&L was comparable to what's out there in Women's Fiction, but when you're a new author you have to bring it with a higher level of intensity or you won't get people to buy it. They won't try you rhonda mcknighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018229725796276222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9994399.post-24905177294832789302009-05-08T16:50:00.000-04:002009-05-08T16:50:00.000-04:00Rhonda this is a great story.

You're wrong!<br /><br />I haven't done a market analysis before and I wouldn't have a clue as to how it's done. If you can, give us more information on this. I didn't realize publishers expected you to have this information.DonnaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899951585332831067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9994399.post-20525084353207019872009-05-08T16:27:00.000-04:002009-05-08T16:27:00.000-04:00Rhonda, you're sending me back to the drawing boar...Rhonda, you're sending me back to the drawing board. I'm not crazy about my beginning, and I thought I was going crazy trying to get it right. I'm sticking a virtual pin it so that I don't lose momentum and get the story out, but I will go back and fix it before I submit.<br /><br />Loving your story.PatriciaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572087157439187319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9994399.post-65452417741251425352009-05-08T16:11:00.000-04:002009-05-08T16:11:00.000-04:00I know about that first chapter thing!

Especially chapter one which is critical to the book getting off to the right start. I've rewritten chapter one so many times that I've lost track, but at least I'm now at the point where I really like it. So...one chapter down, 40 more to go. :-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750046720665201328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9994399.post-55581828622840150232009-05-08T09:27:00.000-04:002009-05-08T09:27:00.000-04:00This is some very good info.
